New Day

I went out for my friend's birthday party last night, and came home with a splitting headache. So that's why I didn't post.

Yesterday was better, but not great by any means. I worked out in the morning. I REALLY didn't want to. I really hate running after I've eaten badly the day before or the same day because it just makes me feel so heavy and out of shape. So I laid in bed forever and put it off all morning and the early part of the afternoon. Finally it was so late that I either needed to run right that minute, or get on with the millions of errands I had to do before the birthday thing. I was really close to just saying "screw it" and taking a shower and getting ready for the day. But I didn't. And I felt much better afterward. As always. Why can't I ever remember that??

Food-wise, I did well until going out. Breakfast: Carrot juice. Lunch: Avocado salad and sweet potato. Dinner: Veggie burger and sweet potato fries. Snacks: Turkey burger slider, lemon drop martini.

For my friend's birthday party, she did a pole dancing class. Kind of weird, but also kind of fun. Beforehand, me and our other friend went for a drink (the martini). They also ended up ordering the turkey burger sliders for an appetizer, and I gave in and had one. Then after the class, we went out to dinner since none of us had eaten anything substantial. I guess what I ordered (a veggie burger and sweet potato fries) was one of the best things on the menu....but still not really according to plan. I could have done better, or just opted out completely. But oh well. At least the pole dancing probably burned a decent number of calories. We were all sweating by the end of it!

Anyway, here's to today being a flawless day in the diet and exercise department!
